As part of building relationships with the Springvale community, the Community Impact Team organised a nice visit to the Senior Citizens at Springvale Private Nursing Home. Accompanied with three guitars, one tambourine, some origami paper and a camera, we entered the nursing home to be greeted by about forty elderly men and women-most unable to move in their special chairs and some not even able to open their eyes. We opened the morning with "One way," then followed by "How Great is Our God." April and Kathy sweetly sang "Above All" in Vietnamese and we made a joyful jingle with "Down in my heart."

After entertaining them with our voices, we broke into pairs and spent some time chatting with the old folk. I met one old fellow from Bac Lieu, south coast of Vietnam, who had six children and fourteen grandchildren. In Vietnam he owned a grocery shop until the North Vietnamese Government took over the South and he and his family fled. Although he couldn't understand any English, he didn't mind living there and didn't mind the food either. Others of us folded origami cranes and cubes to give to the seniors as gifts. Everyone enjoyed the time we spent and felt privileged to have made some new friends. We hope to make these visits a regular feature in our Church program.

Ps Phillip.

On Sunday 16th August 2009, Springvale Vietnamese Evangelical Church will celebrate Youth Day. This is a special day to celebrate and encourage the Youth in their walk with God, and their steady maturation into adulthood. Our regular calendars clearly list Father's Day and Mother's Day as significant occassions to honour our parents. In a similar vein, we don't want to forget that the Youth are also special to us and that they will soon take hold of the reins of their own lives and also of the Church. We need to encourage our Youths to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Mt 6:33) and to work in everything with all of their heart, as working for the Lord, not for men (Col 3:23). On Youth Day 2009, we will see the Youth using their talents and abilities to honour God and serve the Church.

The theme for the camp was the Prayer Life of a Disciple which Pastor Nigel Lau encouragingly preached about throughout the camp. Although the nights were cold, there were really nice fireplaces that warmed the rooms. On Saturday, Steve, the camp manager helped us with the flying fox and the high ropes course. We all flew through the air faster than we could even run. It was an exhilarating experience even though it was only about 100 metres. Even our own Pastor Quang couldn't resist the flight. Lisa and Chris were even more daring, flying upside down and somersaulting whilst Tan flew down "no hands."

The highlight of the camp was the high ropes. Standing about 10 metres in the air, it was scary just to look at. But that didn't stop our youth who all showed that they wouldn't be conquered. Lisa was first up and although she screamed a lot at the top, she scaled the ropes as if she were spiderman (or woman). Anne and Steven were also quite natural up high. Anne walked on the ropes as if it were a plank and Steven showed great strength holding onto Tan so he wouldn't fall. We also must congratulate the friends on the ground who held on to the safety ropes that catch the rope walkers when they fall. Thank God nobody got injured, just a little sore in the muscles which hadn't been used for a while.

Many train travelers arriving at Springvale station on Saturday 30th May 2009 got an unusual but pleasant surprise as they were greeted by our Youth, Young Adults and Adults. We were celebrating the National Day of Thanksgiving 2009 and to show our appreciation to God we gave out free fruit consisting of apples, mandarins and bananas. Our group of 30, including our very own Pastor Quang and his wife, braved the cool morning to thank God and also thank the leaders of our country for their service.

Greater Dandenong Mayor, Cr Pinar Yesil kindly accepted our invitation to attend the morning so that we could express our appreciation to her and her council for their service to the community, and also give her a large Thank You card that we had signed. After an hour or so of giving out fruit, we all split into 6 teams to go into different areas of Springvale and tidy up rubbish. Many people passing by were impressed and thanked the generous service given by our youth. A total of about 10 bags of rubbish were collected.
